Right, time for another update as it's been too long.
The painting saga continues in our house as we steadily press on with our forces, we're only aiming for table top standard or else I think we would have gone insane long before now, kudos to you who spend the time to really make the miniatures shine though.
First up we have just discovered the joys of Army Painter Anti-Shine varnish. We have always used Ronseal matte varnish however it was leaving some models a little too shiny (such as the Trolls who looked like they had just taken a swim). Any way, here are the first results of a the blessed anti-shine and may I say I'm rather pleased with the result:
This still leaves everything else to receive a layer of this stuff but I'll do that at the end before adding flock.
Next up is the real update, I've now progressed onto the archers and have switched to using Army Painter Greedy Gold, brilliant match and in my opinion much easier to paint with:
Amy has been continuing with her Gondor forces and is doing rather well with them, you'll notice she's completed some Rangers which are my personal favourites:
Now for a catch up on my Easterling army as a whole, here's what's painted with a close up of the command (which I forgot to do a photo of in the case of the spearmen):
As you can see all the bases have been bought now but again I'll be leaving these till the end.
One last thing I don't believe I have mentioned is that while we are doing all our modeling we have been listening to the Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings audio books (the ring has just fallen to its doom) and it has been brilliant inspiration, next up is The Silmarillion (can't wait to start it).
As always C&C welcome and appreciated
Phil
